Organic curly kale powder for easy morning drinks, 15 sticks

Which product did I choose for an easy way to eat vegetables?

In the middle of a busy routine, it was hard to keep eating vegetables regularly. Even when I meant to have salad, seasoned vegetables, or raw vegetables, the prep and storage made me hesitate.

While looking for an easier option, I chose Organic Freeze-Dried Curly Kale Powder 100% Curly Kale, 15 sticks.

The product arrived neatly in a box wrapped in bubble wrap.

What did I check about the ingredients and manufacturing method?

I’m usually interested in the nutrition of curly kale, so I looked over the ingredient information.

The information saying that it uses only organic curly kale from California and had completed testing for 512 pesticide residues with none detected influenced my choice.

I also liked that it was made by freeze-drying. The product description introduced it as an ultra-fine molecular powder concentrated by 1,500%.

Does it dissolve well in water? What are the aroma and taste like?

When I first opened it, the deep green color and grassy aroma stood out. To me, it smelled like natural vegetables, without an artificial fragrance or sweetness. Even a small amount had a rich curly kale flavor.

I first tried it in the most basic way, mixed with water. It dissolved better than I expected and barely clumped, which was convenient. Rather than being bitter, it was closer to a mild vegetable taste, so it was easy to drink.

How did I have it besides mixing it with water?

I also mixed it into yogurt, soy milk, and smoothies, and it went well with every combination I tried. In particular, I liked how simple it was to add one stick to yogurt on a busy morning.

Are the stick packs easy to carry and remember to take?

I had been interested in vegetable drinks, but the preparation always felt bothersome. With this product, I just had to tear open and add one stick, which was easy. The individually wrapped stick packs were also nice to keep a few in my bag or office drawer, and there was no need to measure anything separately.

What did I find satisfying after having it for several days?

My stomach felt comfortable after drinking it, and over the several days I had it, I also felt less bloated and a little lighter. That is simply my personal impression while using it. What I liked most was that it took away some of the pressure of eating vegetables and made them easy to work into everyday life.

I was satisfied with both the taste and versatility, and the best-before date on the product I received also felt generous. I wanted to keep up the habit of having it in the morning.
